Jews (collectively) aren't indigenous to any country any more than say communists or libertarians are indigenous to some specific land. Israelis are primarily European and not indigenous to ME. This is clear to anyone with eyes.



To anyone without eyes, you mean. Not only are most Israelis not European, most Israelis have ancestors who were never in Europe at any point in history. So how can you belong to a place that you and all your ancestors never even saw? By a cultural affinity?

Like I've said elsewhere, ask where are the Jews indigenous to and the Pals will say Europe and the Europeans will say nowhere.

As you've just demonstrated. Unique to the people of the earth, only the Jews are supposed to have no attachment to any land. But Arabs, heck, everybody knows they are indigenous.

But if you wish to take a middle ground, then the likely answer is that Jews are indigenous to the Western region of Caspian Sea. You may wish to follow reading on the genetic link between Khazar Jews and the modern day Jews.



Most of the genetic studies on the Jews that I've seen don't come up with much on the Khazars. They find the closest relations are to the Arabs and even more to the Kurds. Got links?
